Since General Loean's death the subject
Of rheumatism is being discussed by the
medical profession. :.

the chief canses of rheumatism. are left
in excess, creating deposits that cause
all sorts of chronic organic diseases, It
woul seem. therefore. that rheuma-
tism, like dropsy, is not disease. but
the result Of a disease. and that it is safe
to say that II the stomach and kidneys
are kept in heslthful condition, there
will be no death from RI eumatism,
General Logan Was we'll aware that
his disease was Of the kidneys. and once
expressed himself in indignant terms at
the folly Of doctors treating him for
rheumatism when it was the kidneys
that caused his attacks. The high liv-
ing and the exec rses In all things, prev
alent among wealthy men in large cities,
in New YorA. is the chief
cause for Brights disease, and the aris-
tocratic trouble known as rheumatism,

The above article, which we repro
luce BECAUSE of its general interest, is
very significant. The public bel ieves
hat rheuratism is an effect Of diseased
blood, this disease being caused BY uric
,r kidney " poison. Enough Of this is
developed daily to kill several men, and
fit is not removed BY the kidneys as
asst as formei. 1t gradually ruins the
,ealth.
This fact is scientific demonstration.
If doctors do not admit it, it is prob
Ibly because they do not wish to attract
to the menace deranged kid
levs offer to the general health, since
hey have no authorized specific for
hese organs. ~
